There was no original story. The only thing spooky was the running columbine in the shed. I was hoping for something different, but maybe my hopes were too high. Saw it, watched it, spent $$ on all this before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-91797448255547001192010-03-21T06:28:52.187-07:002010-03-21T06:28:52.187-07:00I loved Act One, and when we visited the mayor I t...I loved Act One, and when we visited the mayor I thought we were heading into a typical Jaws/Enemy of the People scenario for Acts Two and Three. I would have been very happy with that, because I thought the town stuff had been brilliantly handled.<br /><br />The military stuff, Act Two onwards, lost all its traction, for me. The film still had some great set-pieces up its sleeve (the car-wash, the house), but again these were small-town, not military.NSFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827060720237175599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-38453471169852310532010-03-20T18:38:08.443-07:002010-03-20T18:38:08.443-07:00I liked this movie but I had a problem with the en...I liked this movie but I had a problem with the ending. Can't the government ever think of a better way to contain an outbreak then nuking everything out of existence? What movie has that ever worked? Wouldn't it have been easier to take water samples downstream from the crash site to see how far it spread and maybe trying to clean it up while containing/eradicating the crazies? This never seemed like an option. Also, the hero and his wife would have been blinded by the initial flash and tossed around much more by the blast wave and eventually died from radiation exposure due to the fallout. Other than that, a very entertaining flick.Newmexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12451198419755469578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-69590817425784478792010-03-05T08:41:29.774-08:002010-03-05T08:41:29.774-08:00Good review.

Though it's of a piece with the craftmanshp of the rest of the film, I think they lost their footing a bit with the truck stop sequence at the end. It seemed like too much of a good thing. Still, a movie that is this well-made is difficult for me to criticize too strenuously. And though the sociological stuff is pretty stripped bare, it still resonates because there is hardly anything superfluous to distract from the subtext. Jeez, I can get long-winded when talking about shit I like. That is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-5890257081516787892010-03-01T21:14:33.096-08:002010-03-01T21:14:33.096-08:00ANON-- I DIG WHAT YOURE SAYING, I LOVE HITMAN!

It would have been great to see more of the townsfolk becoming "crazies", and the plane crash would have been incredible.

I figured this was a better choice than Cop Out and damn was I right. You hit the nail on all the points you mentioned.
